There are no plans to update this project.

I recommend using Neo Vim Extension.

Vim emulator for VSCode

• GitHub https://github.com/74th/vscode-vim
• Visual Studio Marketplace https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items/74th.vimStyle

Require

• v0.3 : Visual Studio Code 1.0.0

Features

• pure TypeScript vim engine
• have tests comparing with original vim
• support complex command
• support visual mode

• support repeat command

Installation

ext install vimStyle

• h j k l 0 $ ^ w W b B e E { } [{ ]} tx fx Tx Fx ; , gg G

• quickref function list is here.

• If you need Ctrl-D and Ctrl-U for scrolling, you can use additional scroll key entention.

Support to call VSCode commands from vim keybind

• u : / n N > < %

But they do not behave exactly as vim command, and their supports may be changed.

Settings

If you needs optional settings, please copy belong json and paste to your settings.json.

// Show mode in status bar (default: true)
"vimStyle.showMode": false,
// changing cursor by mode (default: true)
"vimStyle.changeCursorStyle": false,
// motion with jkl;(default: false)
"vimStyle.useErgonomicKeyForMotion": true,
// default mode (default: "normal")
"vimStyle.defaultMode": "insert",
// disable without to uninstall (default: "true")
"vimStyle.enabled": "false",
// keys go to normal mode from insert mode (default: "" disable)
"vimStyle.imapEsc": "jj",
// some vimrc like settings
"vimStyle.vimrc": [
	"nmap Y y$", //
	"nnoremapmap Y y$", //
]

If you would like to use ctrl+[ instead of escape, please add blong setting to your keybindings.json.

{
	"key": "ctrl+[",
	"command": "vim.Esc",
	"when": "editorTextFocus"
}

If you would like more vim flavor, you can use vim.inNormalMode, vim.inInsertMode and vim.inVisualMode to your keyboard shortcuts. For example,

// in insert mode
{
	// Ctrl-h : BackSpace
	"key": "ctrl+h", "command": "deleteLeft",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inInsertMode"
},
{
	// Ctrl-w : delete word
	"key": "ctrl+w", "command": "deleteWordLeft",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inInsertMode"
},
// in visual mode
{
	// arrow up
	"key": "up", "command": "vim.type-<Up>",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inVisualMode"
},
{
	// arrow down
	"key": "down", "command": "vim.type-<Down>",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inVisualMode"
},
{
	// arrow right
	"key": "right", "command": "vim.type-<Right>",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inVisualMode"
},
{
	// arrow left
	"key": "left", "command": "vim.type-<Left>",
	"when": "editorTextFocus && vim.inVisualMode"
},
